Sheng Shaoqing rarely refutes the system, "Then there are good signs!"
Even if the imperial examination system was abolished in one fell swoop during the Qing Dynasty, it still left an indelible mark.
Didn't she pass the many obstacles, carp leaped over the dragon's gate, and thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge to get into college?
In essence, the college entrance examination is no different from the imperial examination. They are all about selecting talents.
Sheng Shaoqing did not dare to claim that he was a talented person, but this level was enough to screen out those who were not suitable for further study.
In the same way, whether one is qualified for an official position cannot only depend on family background and moral character.
Although, moral character is no longer very important when selecting officials in Beiliang.
After a long time, the system popped up, "I have to say, you are really adventurous."
Is this the reason why Sheng Shaoqing was chosen?
Could it be that what it received was not a maintainer script, but a reformer?
The familiar feeling of marrying a chicken and following the chicken, marrying a dog and following the dog came over my face, so the system decided to turn off the microphone and calm down.
Sheng Shaoqing suffered from insomnia again, but this time it was not because of hesitation, but because of excitement.
The next day, Sheng Shaoqing took Yuan Che to court with two dark circles under his eyes, but was surprised to find that Wei Zhen, who used to often jump out to sing the opposite, actually changed from his normal behavior today and was as quiet as a chicken in the corner.
During the discussion, Wei Zhen's voice was not heard, but the criticism of him actually fell in Sheng Shaoqing's ears.
"I can't believe that Mr. Wei's family style is like this. It's really a shame to serve as an official in the same court with such a person!"
"Mr. Wei is usually very majestic in court, but I didn't expect his son to be such a useless person! He takes care of his wife and his appearance, and he is not afraid of being laughed at!"
The other one covered his mouth and snickered, "I heard that the bed is still with Madam and she hasn't asked for it back."
Wei Zhen's face turned red and green for a while, and he really didn't look like a person. Although those people didn't come to him, the way they whispered and glanced at each other unintentionally, the tacit understanding in the intersection of each other's eyes was evident all the time.
Don't tell him that these people are talking about him.
It was obvious that just two days ago, they were still discussing the Queen Mother. Why did the wind suddenly change and the fire burned on them?
Gritting his teeth, Wei Zhen suppressed the anger in his heart. After all, what they said was true.
After returning home from the next court, the first thing Wei Zhen did when he returned to the study was to ask his servants to invite his eldest son, an unfilial son, over for tea.
Master Xiaowei looked at his angry father with a confused look. The last time he remembered his father being so angry was when he accidentally pushed his younger brother down when he was a child, and his younger brother got a big bloody cut on his head.
At that time, his father whipped him on the body with a cane. He explained over and over again that he didn't mean it, but his father, who was so angry, ignored him and only vented his anger.
Later, he no longer explained, and he didn't have the energy to explain. Anyway, explaining would only hit him harder, so it was better not to explain.
"Tell me, what good things have you done recently?!"
"Me?" Master Xiaowei shrugged, "What good things can I do?"
Wei Zhen was even more furious when his son choked him, "You didn't do anything, so why are there so many comments in the court? How did the matter between you and that bitch make a fuss?"
"I have worked so hard for the glory of the Wei clan, but it's not a good thing for you to make the whole family uneasy!"
When Mr. Xiao Wei saw that his father was making trouble about this matter again, he was also angry, "Father, please don't always make trouble about this matter, okay? This is my private matter, what does it have to do with the Wei family?"
Wei Zhen was so angry that his son fell down and said, "If your surname was not Wei, I wouldn't have to worry so much!"
Mr. Xiao Wei was even more angry, "I know that over the years, you have been partial to your younger brother. You have been like this since you were a child. You blame me for everything. Everything is my fault. Do you think I want to be named Wei?!"
Wei Zhen was so angry that his beard stood up. He slumped down on the Grand Master's chair and took a long time to catch his breath.
Mr. Xiaowei also let himself go. Having said the words, he simply waved his hand and walked out.
It took a long time for Wei Zhen's old voice to be heard from the Wei family's study, "Ji Nu, go and find out who is spreading the rumor? Who started this?!"
Don't blame him for being rude if you dare to arrange for his Wei family!
Sheng Shaoqing was watching this with great interest. He turned around and asked Cui Yun, "The incident with the Wei family didn't leave any traces, right?"
Cui Yun didn't know what the Empress Dowager meant by her question, so she thought for a while and shook her head, "It shouldn't happen. The secret stakes used by the ministers were Cui's hidden stakes, and these things were done by themselves, and they were not fabricated by us."
Sheng Shaoqing nodded with satisfaction. No matter how arrogant Wei Zhen is, let him taste the pain of being in the center of public opinion!
"Queen Mother, we have made arrangements for leaving the palace tomorrow, but you need to fast today, so..."
So, she doesn’t have a share of the big chicken drumsticks cooked for lunch today???
The chicken drumsticks cooked by Aning are rich in sauce, smell fragrant and melt in your mouth. Today, you can only look at them but not eat them????
That guy Yuan Che is really cheap.
During dinner, Sheng Shaoqing looked at Yuan Che chewing the chicken drumsticks with a sad look on his face. Yuan Che kindly brought them to Sheng Shaoqing and said, "Mother, don't you take a bite of such fragrant drumsticks?"
Sheng Shaoqing was going crazy inside, and could only smile and say, "My mother is fasting and cannot eat meat."
Yuan Che had no choice but to take back the steaming big chicken drumsticks and murmured, "The queen is really good for me. She was right not to take me to burn incense, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat such delicious chicken drumsticks."
Don't hit children, don't hit children, Sheng Shaoqing thought silently in her heart, otherwise she was afraid that she would really be unable to bear it and give Yuan Che's butt a couple of slaps to let him know what it means not to do to others what you don't want others to do to you.
"Mother, you must return to the palace early!"
Under Yuan Che's earnest gaze, Sheng Shaoqing got on the carriage leaving the palace.
To be on the safe side, Sheng Shaoqing took Wang Shanggong and Mrs. Li to Jingning Temple.
Along the way, Sheng Shaoqing opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out from time to time.
However, everything he passed had been cleared, and none of the lively scenes that Sheng Shaoqing wanted to see were seen.
Sheng Shaoqing withdrew his hand without interest. Cui Yun saw this and asked, "Is the Queen Mother unhappy?"
"Well, the Ai family originally wanted to see the lives of the people outside the palace, but there is no one outside. It's really boring."
Cui Jun could only console her, "If the Queen Mother wants to see it, she can leave the palace incognito another day. Today she left the palace to pray for blessings. For safety reasons, we have to clear the place."
yes!
Leave the palace incognito!
Sheng Shaoqing became happy again and looked forward to this trip to Jingning Temple.
Jingning Temple is located in the northwest of the imperial city and is built on a mountain, so the mountain road is rugged and quite bumpy.
Sheng Shaoqing's intestines were about to be knocked out in the carriage. After asking the driver, who was almost there, he took Cui Yun and the others out of the carriage and walked to Jingning Temple.
The empress dowager's guard of honor had not yet arrived at Jingning Temple, and everyone in the temple was already waiting at the door. As Sheng Shaoqing approached, everyone bowed down and bowed down, shouting longevity and peace.
